Language Arts

Reading:

I believe reading is crucial in a student's success in life, therefore, I place a strong emphasis on it. Each night students will bring home a Book Buddy that will have a book, a Reading Journal, Sight Words, and Vocabulary words.

Please have your child read to the book to you, answer the assigned question, practice his/her Sight Words, and go over the Vocabulary Words.

Have fun reading with your child.  You can take turns reading because students benefit from having an experienced reader model reading to them.

Help create a love of reading for you child!
